We build a substantial number of strokers each year, including LT1s to 383. The best ones we've found are Eagle. The kit is complete, with a good 4340 FORGED steel (NEVER use a "cast steel" Chinese crank) crankshaft, 6" H-beam rods, SRP light-weight forged pistons, moly rings and Clevite H-series bearings. Just installed a 383 kit in an LT-1 last month! Highly recommend Eagle Specialty Products for most internal rotating parts.

There ARE other kits out there. We've not found one without compromise for price, except the Eagle. I suppose it depends on your budget AND how much power you want. DO NOT cut corners if you want serious (above 400 HP) power.
